• Dual 300mm Floating Front Disc Brakes with Radial-Mount Calipers
• Petal design Front Disc Brakes
• LCD Display Instrument Panel with Stopwatch, Lap Counter and Shift Indicator Lamp
• Halogen Multi-Reflector Dual Headlights and LED Tail Light

• 998cc 4-cylinder, DOHC engine is a very compact, narrow and lightweight design
• One-piece upper crankcase/cylinder casting increases rigidity
• Passages between the chrome composite plated aluminum cylinders reduce pumping loss and increase power
• Flat-topped, forged pistons provide efficient combustion with low reciprocating weight and high heat resistance
• High-speed generator located behind the cylinder to reduce engine width and lower crankshaft mounting position
• Oil channels in the case mounting surfaces eliminate separate oil lines
• High-efficiency liquid-cooled aluminum oil cooler is compact and lightweight
• 4-Valve Cylinder Head with compact valve train reduces cylinder head height
• Single valve springs with oval cross sections reduce weight and is more compact
• Aluminum valve retainers reduce weight and allow higher rpm
• Flow-analysis designed intake ports for efficient cylinder filling and more power
• Billet camshafts are more than a half-pound lighter than cast cams
• Single, centrally located Ram Air Induction feeds the compact, highly efficient air box
• Electronic Fuel Injection using 43mm Keihin throttle bodies
• Sub throttle valves are controlled by the ECU to provide precise response
• Dual atomizing injectors in each intake for smooth throttle response
• TCBI Ignition with Digital Advance
• High-speed processor provides precise engine management
• Spark plug-mounted ignition coils are compact and help reduce weight
• Titanium exhaust system with Butterfly Valve
• Butterfly Valve in the exhaust collector improves power, reduces noise
• Oval muffler has titanium components wrapped in lightweight aluminumcover
• 6-Speed Transmission features close ratios, increasing circuit performance
• Tunable back-torque limiting clutch helps prevent wheel hop during hard braking
• Aluminum Twin Spar backbone frame composite of pressed and cast components for light weight, high stability and responsive handling, more compact than the ZX-6R frame
• Uni-Trak Rear Suspension
• Computer-designed gull-wing aluminum swingarm is very light and rigid
• Fully adjustable Kayaba shock with circuit settings
• Top-out spring helps provide precise control under hard braking
• Threaded upper shock mount for ride height adjustment; 1mm shims available
• Kayaba 43mm Inverted front forks are highly rigid for superior handling on the street or circuit
• Front forks are fully adjustable with circuit settings
• Top-out springs help provide precise control under hard acceleration
• Aluminum wheels are a new 6-spoke design
• Radial mounted front dis brakes
• Radial mounted 4-piston caliper for increased rigidity and improved brake feel over a wide range of operation
• Individual brake pads for each piston prevent pad deformation due to heat
• Petal Design brake discs improve cooling and warp resistance
• First "wavy" type discs to come standard on a supersport machine
• Aerodynamic Bodywork has less frontal area than the ZX-6R
• Bodywork designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency when used on the track
• Fuel tank shape allows a tighter tuck behind the windscreen
• Advanced Electronic Instrumentation
• All-LCD display features digital step motor speedometer and temperature gauge inside the bar display tachometer
• Multi-function odometer, trip meter, clock and lap timer/stopwatch
